What's Next?\r\r - Male entertainers have long worn earrings (some diamonds the size of broaches!) and chains, but over the past two decades especially, there’s been more and more who have rocked items that were once considered “only for the ladies.” Cam'ron helped rappers feel OK with wearing pink in the ‘90s and somewhere along the way in the ‘10s we’ve seen the rise of skinny jeans and deep V-necks. Some are even scooping up items straight from the women’s section. What women’s trends do you think will be the next to crossover?\r\r(Photo: Frank Micelotta/Getty Images)
